Abstract

Summary of the research findings

This paper reports on the discovery of a mass deposition of headless Neolithic bodies at the LBK settlement site of Vráble-Veľké Lehemby in southwest Slovakia. It presents the archaeological context and preliminary osteological and taphonomic observations, discusses the depositional pattern in Vráble within a broader Central European LBK context, and considers implications for understanding violence and mortuary cosmologies at the end of the LBK.
